The Official CAG September 2014 Pick-Ups Thread

I paid $4 for this GameCube component cable, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it... I don't need 3, but I don't really like getting rid of this kind of stuff. A local used game store offered me $100 trade, but I know I can get $150 on Ebay. (I don't really like messing with Ebay) 

So I dunno... Still, it's hard for me to believe these things are worth so much.

Picked these up from Gamestop with the $5 Kongregate coupon.  Went in for Castlevanie LoS.  The only copy in store was disc only so I passed.  Asked about a couple more games I saw for cheap on the website and none in store.  Found Deus Ex for under $5 so I needed a cheap filler to use coupon.  I started checking the disc only section when I remembered the GTA V guide was just under $5.  I had him pull a copy from the back.  The coupon wouldn't work.  I'm guessing at least one item needs to be over $5.  After all this the clerk manually adjusts the price to take $3 off the guide and $2 off the game.  Deus Ex is complete with slipcover.  Both for under $5 and I still have a valid coupon to use this weekend.

Grabbed this from Amazon for $6.xx in credit.  I've thought about this game a few times and always passed.  Figure I would go ahead and give it a try for $6.

Uniqlo socks
 
It's funny how different I am this gen compared to last, going from Xbox 360 only (light wii when it first came out and the occasional game on Mac steam) to PS4 as my only home console and now a vita.

Come on, man. 3?! Give a couple of those up so people can actually use them :(

I've wanted a copy of Doki Doki Panic since about 1991. Finally!!!

Got about 100 of these shells in the other day. Couldn't help but slap together a couple of GBCs of my own with them :)

Also, the orange shells glow like crazy under a blacklight

Picked up the Fightstick off of Craigslist for $60. Pretty much like new. Gonna change the artwork and buttons soon. Really a heck of a deal

Uncharted 3 Goty was $2 after PUR and $5 coupon

I wasn't just going to pass up a $150 cable that's on sale for $4. I use one, I'm not sure where my second one is and I'm seriously considering selling the third one on ebay. I have lots of random cables/parts in boxes in case I "need it" later on, but in this case it does seem much better to just sell it and use the money to buy a Turbo Graphix 16 or something.

 
From GoHastings:

Love buying FUNi LEs from GoHastings. Why?

IMG_20140906_221444.jpg


Because I have a tendency to get the whole series instead of just Part 1! ^_^

Also got these from eBay:

Nice games you got there :)

Though here we never get hard copies , I too mainly use online game codes and steam.

 
Went back to Gamestop to use my $5 Kongregate coupon.  Picked up Uncharted 3 GOTY for $2 after coupon.  Didn't notice all the French writing on it until I was home.  What's up with that?  French Canadian?  For $2 I can live with it.  While I was there I picked up a couple disc only cheap games.  Motorstorm for $.99 and Red Steel for $1.99.  Been wanting to try both of these.  For that price why not!  All three games for $5 and some tax.

You'll know if you got the French Canadian Version if it has F at the end of the BCUS.

There's tons of games that have multiple languages on the cover or back that are US releases.

As a person who is buying every game for one platform are these various covers something you look for? I see you buy different versions of the same game. Looks like different retail version is what you look for. The reason I ask is I used to collect sports cards when I was younger. Canadian versions of the same American cards were always worth less. I never understood this thinking as a collector. I figure there would be less Canadian versions made than American. I think it had to do with American collectors wanting the US version and wanting nothing to do with the Canadian cards. This same thing is noticeable in Sega Saturn imports. Saturn import versions are sometimes cheaper on Amazon than their American counterparts.
 
Thank you, GS coupons.

Not really. The only Wii games I'm buying that are the same game is if it's a store exclusive (like the Just Dance games) or the Nintendo Player's Choice versions or if there was a cardboard sleeve version (like New Super Mario Bros Wii, Wii Sports, etc) of a game. There are a lot of games with accessories bundled with them that I'm not worried about unless I see it for super cheap or something.

I owned all these games before but flipped them to GS during their 50% promo... Use 20% birthday coupon and buy 2 get 1 free to rebut them. DS3 and FF is from AWD. 

 
One of my easiest midnight launches ever. Drove past 2 GS and spotted at least 40 people in each line.  When I got to Best Buy, there were a whopping 10 people, and those people were already split into separate lines based on walkin/pre-order/online pickup.   Signed my pickup receipt at 11:58 and was out the door at 12:00 on the dot with this badboy:

Got time while the 5 1/2 GB files are installing mind as well post a pick ups pic. My store got extra Limited Editions for 360 so I upgraded at the last minute for $30 more (GCU pricing) $15 a piece on Captain America 2 Steel and workaholics. :)

Gonna be a pain calling RZ to get my $10 cert still.

Edit: cant upload on mobile will edit later

Arrived at 10:30, got a free headset with it (apparently its sucks it hey didn't cost me nothing extra)
 
Not me either. I have Wii U/Vita/3DS but no PS4 or Xbone for probably another year. I guess I could grab a PS3 copy but meh.
 
What is this Destiny game???  :p I picked up NHL 15 at Kmart, got $10 back in SYWR points thanks to a coupon. 



And I saw this on IGN while at work and you know I preordered one! And IDK if this is true but the employee was talking to the other guy and he said "the Nintendo rep was in here the other day talking about that or like a SNES themed Wii U..."

What I picked up so far this month

20140911_015011.jpg


Realm Reborn CE cost $15 on AWD. The PS4 only cost $52.50 since I had traded my black PS4 into GS for $397.50 about 3-4 months ago. Will trade the Destiny that came with it probably today or tomorrow, same goes for the XB1 Destiny disc since I bought that digital.

20140911_015331.jpg


Uncharted, Uncharted 3, Resident Evil 5, and Max Payne 3 each cost $1.79 each after $5 GS kongregate coupon. RDR Undead Nightmare was $4.49 after coupon.
